I hate it when people post just to post.....

Yes. But just a little. And afterwards, blessed relieve from that feeling that a cat is sitting on your chest.

I can't wait to get rid of that feeling...always feels like something is stuck in my throat. Hate it!

It's Saturday morning - yeah! I've got to hit the gym before the Santa Claus parade - I still cannot accept the parade before Dec 1, but alas I'm not ruler of the city. So, gotta get to the gym and home before they put up the street roadblocks and corral me!

Okay, what blows my mind is that I was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia about 6 years ago when I was having issues (turned out to be my gall bladder which needed an emergency removal), but when I did the barium swallow for this procedure, it showed no hernia! And that just can't be right because I have been going through issues again of issues when I swallow, like it gets stuck and then suddenly releases after a period of time. :cool:

What scares me is the doctor not really finding anything, and then I get banded and continue to have problems with swallowing.

Beth, once they're in you they'll be able to see if you have a hiatal hernia. You should mention it to your doctor when he comes to see you before the surgery. Most doctors pop in and say hello to you before you go under. If you don't see your doctor, you can tell your nurse and ask her/him to mention it to your doctor.

Shovelling break - mitts are on the fireplace drying, coffee is perking, breathing is easing up. Catch up on the posts (very few on this sunday morning) then back outside. Think it's time to put away the patio furniture and toss the plants?

I'm going to San Francisco today to see the 49ers. Go Niners! I hope they win at least this one. It would be nice.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
